phone calls.

"we hope and pray that there will be no more." ambulances carried some of the injured to nearby hospitals, while others were taken by helicopter.

the shutdown showdown continues for the third day.. and there's no sign of budging on either side of the aisle in congress. for the first time since the government shutdown, congressional leaders met face-to-face with president obama at the white house wednesday night... both sides emerging with no deal and no signs of progress to end the stalemate. the president reiterated one more time tonight that he

will not negotiate. we're through playing these little games. we have a situation right now where if john boehner, the speaker of the house, puts a bill on the floor to reopen the government at current funding levels, so that we can then negotiate on a real budget that allows us to stop governing from crisis to crisis, it would pass. republicans still demanding president obama accept a delay to his signature health care program. but the president says.. he's not giving in. he says he will discuss budgetary issues like taxes, spending and entitlement reform.. if house republicans first agree to reopen the government for several weeks. as part of the government shutdown... the obama administration told the u-s parks department to close off access to all the memorials in washington d-c. but after a group of veterans made news for crossing the barriers at the world war 2 memorial ... the republican national committee... is

offering to pay to keep it open. that's not right and we all know that that's just not fair. so i've come here to announce that that the republican national committee has put aside enough money to hire five security personnel full-time to keep the world war ii memorial open for veterans and visitors across this country. the democratic national committee quickly responded to the r-n-c's offer....calling it a "stunt." problems continue this morning... on maryland's obamacare website. open enrollment began two days ago... but the site still says that there are technical difficulties. we sent emails and left calls with several members of the maryland health connection to find out when it

would be back up, but our calls were not returned. it could mean good news for the president and supporters of obamacare.. because the computer problems are apparently due to exceptionally high interest. the head of baltimore county schools will meet with student and parent advisory boards today for the first time this school year. both the student and parent advisory council provide feedback to dr. dallas dance about issues in the school system. this meeting comes on the heels of concern over the county redistricting plan. dance says the district will need 500 additional seats in the next five years. and finding them will likely mean re-districting many existing schools. that is not good news for parents who bought homes in communities like stoneleigh and loch raven village so their children could go to school there. now, they face the real prospect of being sent to lesser- performing schools. at the end of this month, a redistricting committee is expected to release proposals for parents review. throw a cold one back.. it's

okay! according to research... there's good news for beer drinkers! turns out there are actually a lot of unknown healthy benefits to your brew. wine gets a lot of credit for anti-oxidant benefits... but beer and wine actually contain the same amount anti- oxidants. and -- the protein and b- vitamin content of beer is higher than in wine. beer also contains silicon -- which is found in few foods -- and is linked to bone strength. but -- don't get too excited! experts do add that the alcohol in beer mostly cancels out these benefits. it's received over 15 million hits on youtube and has become one of the most memorable commercials to date. it's hump day - wahoooo!

it's the geico hump day commercial... but not everyone is laughing at the catch phrase. a middle school in vernon center middle school is banning it.. saying it's now become disruptive. "everybody's walking around in the hallways and saying its hump day in that weird voice." "i don't really think its that big of a disruption if people are just doing it in the hallways." "sometimes its the counting down to when it is." "they do it every day." "ok, that's getting out of hand, just keep it to wednesdays and we'll be all right!" students say some kids have been called into the office, but the superintendent says this isn't a district, or even school wide issue. she says the teachers just wanted to nip it in the bud. a major band

because the democrats now own it. if the republicans had any sense, they would back off, and give them the continuing resolution nice and clean, and say, okay, fellows, it is all yours. i don't know if they're going to do that, but it would be a smart political move. well, the two sides are still fighting with one another. and, terry, don't you think that's the way they ought to do it? >> terry: compromise is a word of the past. >> pat: that's not compromise. just say, okay, guys, it's yours. pick up the marbles. they should call it democratcare. not obamacare because obama is not running for re-election. all of the ones in the house are running for re-election. it seems to me, you bring it to the people. if it is a success, they'll get credit. if it is a failure, they'll get the blame. >> terry: that's a good idea. in the meantime, both sides are still pointing fingers at each other in washington, and neither one has come up with an answer on how to end the government shotdown.
